When roommates Ainlsey and Malakai start college, they are both seeking the same thing: a fresh start and a place to belong. Too bad they are polar opposites and butt heads right from the start. When Malakai falls victim to a girl's infatuation, he attempts to dodge her relentless flirtations. As she grows more insistent and spends hours at a time in their dorm, he and Ainsley grudgingly hatch a plan: pretend to date to get her to back off.

While the two navigate their tense (but fake) relationships, unexpected feelings pop up, causing havoc on their burgeoning friendship, and jealousy rears its ugly head. Will the two of them be able to work out their differences and admit their true feelings or will one be left broken-hearted?All Rights Reserved

Camberlyn is no ordinary girl; his name's actually Cameron, but no one knows that yet, not even himself. Adjusting to college life has had no hitches so far, but then, he realises 3 things: 1. He's into Rachel, an awesome new close friend of his; 2. Rachel is, for some reason, into Cameron as well, and; 3. They're together now, even if they're the only ones who know it. Oh, and they're roommates. (Oh my God, they're roommates.) Now, Cameron has to juggle between maintaining a secret relationship, reconnecting with an estranged family member and an estranged friend, not to mention hiding his "I have a girlfriend" situation from his parents. And also his "I'm into girls" situation. But of course, everything's not fine, even if Cameron pretends it is. When he has to choose between keeping his parents happy and keeping his own happiness, he has to learn how useless it is to pretend to be Camberlyn, before the choice is taken from him. .

The Butterfly Effect by namelessvic_

With interconnected stories between ten people about devotion and betrayal wrapped into one book, you will discover that in life you may never know one simple action can cause a bigger impact in someone else's life. -------------------------------------------------------------------- It's a small world, they always say. And maybe for these ten college students, it really is. In their own story, they're the main character who gets hurt. But in someone else's story, they might be the bad guy or just a passing moment. One thing for sure is everything is connected with one another in a complicated mix of love, heartbreak, jealousy, and misunderstanding. In the end without each other's awareness, who will hurt who? Can they pick up the pieces and fix whom they break? Cover by @SylicateGrazie with Canva

Bodyguard by tessalovatt

[18+] Mark just wants a quiet life. With plenty of action at work, he has no interest in bringing the drama home with him. But he does need a flatmate, and when blonde bombshell Zoe crashes onto the scene, she's more than he bargained for. Zoe is all about Communication. She hasn't had much luck with it. For example, her ex didn't communicate that he liked cheating on her more than he liked being faithful. And now she's living with a man who hates talking. They're not what each other want, but one steamy night together changes everything. Over the course of 15 years, a friendship forms, one that's tested with romance, sex, and heartbreak. Can they survive the ultimate test of time, or are polar opposites always destined to stay apart? Content Warnings: Strong sexual content, strong language, loss/death, cheating (not between main characters)

The Short and The Furious ✔ by whoscountinganyway

It's true what they say -you should never kiss your roommate. Something that Everly Peyton and Ares Dante prove quite excellently. But there's something else that they could tell you as well: if you're going to fall in love with your roommate never let them fall in love with you too. Keep them at a distance. Well, for five years, Ares and Peyton completely disregard that rule. And once it starts to become real, once they start to think that falling in love (and kissing) their roommate couldn't be that bad after all- -though it still bringing up some negative connotations- -there's this one big hurdle they have to come over. Family problems. Betrayals. Shotgun-reactions. Abuse. When falling in love with your roommate goes wrong, what do you have left? Not a place to live, not your same life, not your normal routine, or friends, or happiness. Neither of them know how long it's going to take the other to get over or heal from it, but when more of their pasts unravel, when they're pushed back together and can't ignore the other's pain? They force themselves to move on. But moving past heart break is always harder than it seems. **I no longer agree with ideals/things I wrote bc I was a child***
